Reference: FRONT DISC BRAKE PAD REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION 

Check pad lining for wear. When the wear exceeds limit, replace with new one.

CAUTION: Never polish pad lining with sandpaper. If lining is polished with sandpaper, hard particles of sandpaper will be deposited in lining and may damage disc. When pad lining requires correction, replace it with a new one.

Standard: 10 mm (0.39 in.) 

Limit: 2 mm (0.08 in.)
